@ElleTrudgett - "masculine products section" sounds like where I'd find books about math and science

Condoms aren't placed in a "masculine products" section and aren't generally gendered on the packaging. It's like they've already realized the gender identity of the person using their product doesn't matter or something. pic.twitter.com/AbgEBdbzRw

For those who don't feel like following the whole story, the summary is that Tampex hilariously tries claiming their products aren't just for women, but also for...women who have severe mental retardation and stupidity to the point they actually think they're men. This isn't your traditional bulldyke wishing that God had given her a penis, but women whose brains are so broken that they think God not giving them a penis was somehow a clerical error.

Anyways, this man named "elle" whose real name we'll never know thinks its somehow a point that condoms aren't "masculine hygene products" with gendered^† packaging. The reason the sex of the user isn't displayed graphically on the packaging is of course cultural: as part of the Freudian interpretation of phallic imagery as symbolically castrating (to wit, if you have to brag about it you don't got it), companies tend to avoid putting overly phallic graphics on products even when, in the case of condoms, it makes a lot of sense. But any condom company that put a giant picture of a space shuttle taking off on the package would be slammed by the same moronic twitterers like this Elle guy if they did. In our pussified society expressions of male virility are not looked kindly upon.

^† Remember kids, this talk about "gender" instead of "sex" is a misnomer. As it happens Mr. Elle accidentally got it forty-percent-right when he called the packaging "gendered". People, like animals, have sexes and sex only. Gender applies to nouns, and generally only comes up in Romance Languages: le boîte en carton for example. All packages are female because we can stick things in them...

It's worth considering of course that there's also a good reason we don't find condoms in a section called "masculine products". And no, it's not the cheap joke at the top of this post about how a "masculine products section" would be full of things like power tools, spark plugs, books about math and logic, BBQ tongs, and AR-15s. Instead, the reason we find condoms in a section called "family planning" which is usually a section at the end of the aisle with greeting cards and feminine hygene, is because the target audience for condoms isn't men, but women.

After all, condoms are literally there to plan for (not having) families. Unlike Tampex's products which satisfy the requirement to "not bleed and/or slime from the monthly discharge from your cervix", Durex's products are intended for "if you want to boink this girl and not become a father". Even that's a bit of a "meeting this Elle guy halfway" argument though, because men have for centuries had a way to achieve this: simply not be a father. No requirement to spend any of your hard-earned cash on a little piece of latex/sheepskin when not giving her your last name and doing it at her place, a technique that pretty much began with the invention of the big anonymous city, already exists and works so well.

So no, the "gender identity" (ie. sex) of the person putting the product on his (always "his", as only men have them) penis isn't of particular import to the marketing department of condom manufacturers: much of the time it isn't his idea to wear it in the first place, and a good number of those times he probably isn't even the half of the equation that went to the apothecary in the first place.

Bonus tranny idiocy:

Let's do this. Is it your sincerely held belief that if one menstruates one is a woman? What about women who don't menstruate? What about intersex people born XY who have uteruses that menstruate, i.e. (Sweyer syndrome)?

The fact that hermaphrodites (likely less than 100,000 people on the entire planet) exist doesn't mean that a man who decides he wants to be a women actually is a women. It would be like noting that dogs have four legs: yes some are born with only three legs and a little stump but you know full well that is an abnormality. In fact, there's a simple metric to explain this^‡:

^‡ Not that I needed more evidence of this, but just like faggots notice that Elle and his people, even with all of society telling them the lie that they are normal, are still suicidal as result of their mental insanity.
